Therapists in Austin, TX

My role as a therapist is to facilitate growth and change by assisting my clients in realizing and exploring the primary concerns in their lives. My job is to help them get "unstuck," so that they can choose other ways to live. I offer tools that can help them communicate better, establish necessary and healthy boundaries, manage anger and fear healthily, and eliminate self-destructive and self-harming behavior. Most importantly, I offer assistance in improving the self, which can enrich and increase the joy in my client's lives.

At Flourish! we recognize that it is hard to be a human navigating our current modern challenges - and even harder to do it alone. Our holistic, mindful and somatic approach to mental health is especially helpful for people feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, unfulfilled, anxious, hopeless, or who have experienced recent or past trauma(s).

I am supervised by Michelle Zadrozny, LCSW-S. Are you feeling disconnected from your life purpose? Are you struggling with low self esteem, the impacts of trauma, challenging relationships, lack of motivation, or debilitating thoughts, fears, or emotional pain? As your therapist, I will be a gentle and supportive presence to guide you into deeper self knowledge and healing, so that you can thrive. My therapeutic approach is influenced by my perspective as a musician and creative person, and I utilize techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, meditation, mindfulness, art, and narrative therapy.

Do people think you got your stuff together? But you feel things are unraveling? Yes, you are managing life, work and family but neglecting yourself. Are you tired, overwhelmed, depressed and not sleeping well? Have you started engaging in unhealthy behaviors or not being yourself? Contact me if you are ready to make a change today. Don't end this year without resolving past issues.

I work with Perinatal Mental Health (conception through 1st year postpartum), Spectrum Disorders (Autism), Learning Difficulties, Life Transitions, Anxiety, PTSD, trauma, and Depression. I am also a mother and work with Pregnancy, Prenatal, and Postpartum health. I always crave additional training, which is why I became certified in Perinatal Mental Health and completed EMDR basic training. I believe in the importance of focusing on the mind-body connection in a holistic manner.

I believe that therapy involves a collaboration between the client/s and the therapist. If a client is not part of the decisions, the ideas, the relationship, and the motivation, achieving the desired change is much more difficult. I understand that being in a relationship of any kind can be difficult and I believe that everyone needs help navigating the obstacles that we are bound to encounter in love, family, friends & life. I love being a part of that process. My role as a therapist is to collaborate with, empathize with, support, understand, and encourage my clients. I do this through face to face as well as tele/video therapy.

What do I want to create most in my life? What do I need to be at peace with? How do I improve the connection in my relationships? All of these questions are an invitation to personally grow, and in this spirit, I enjoy helping individuals creatively face the hard questions life is asking of them.

What if you could live your life with confidence, trust, understanding, and intimacy? If you're having a hard time, feeling disconnected, or having communication problems, I want to help. While my practice specializes in challenges around sex, communication, intimacy, and infidelity, over the years I've also had the privilege of working successfully with people bringing a broad range of other concerns to my office, including gender identity and transitions, trauma, anxiety, chronic illness, grief, and more. Things can change. Just by reaching out, you've already started down a path of insight and healing.

My regard for my clients is always unconditional and it is always positive. I want to help those who have problems with depression, anxiety, addiction, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, or many other mental health crises, these things that disconnect a person from himself or herself. More than ever, we have a duty to take ownership and redefine ourselves. Sometimes this requires much work, reflection, pain, courage, and sometimes maybe even a rebirth. I believe I can provide help with these things.

As a therapist, my hope is to help you move toward a meaningful, vital, and fulfilling life. I aim to provide you with a safe and supportive environment in which, together, we can look at ways to enhance your wellbeing. As an insight-oriented counselor, I believe that the understanding you develop in therapy can be empowering and transformative. I would be honored to work with you as you discover and embrace your authentic self.

Do you feel trapped in patterns that no longer serve you? Do you feel disconnected from yourself, others, or in your relationship? Are there old wounds showing up in the present? Are you struggling with relationships and not quite sure why? When we encounter trauma or adverse experiences, we often find ourselves stuck in unhealthy cycles as a way of shielding ourselves from reliving that pain. Together, we will approach the difficulties you're facing with compassion, fostering lasting transformation. My therapeutic style is characterized by warmth, creating a space where we can explore how you can cultivate a more fulfilling life.

It takes courage to reach out for support and help in making change in your life and if you are here looking for a therapist to build a relationship and work with you I would be happy to work with you through your journey. I have experience in helping clients with trauma, relationship challenges (codependency, abandonment), anxiety, depression, and grief and loss. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

I am a licensed psychologist and a clinical neuropsychologist. I provide evidence based effective treatment for psychological problems, as well as neuropsychological assessment. I take a humanistic and compassionate approach and work with my clients as partners in a journey. My clients' wellbeing, dignity and progress towards the goals we set are my top priorities. Together with my clients I offer a tailored clinical approach to help you achieve your treatment and life goals. I also draw from both neuroscience as well as from philosophy to help clients get better and experience the profound sense that... its ok to be you!

You may find yourself looking for someone to listen, someone to help you work through depression, anxiety, trauma, or grief. It is not always easy to speak to a stranger, and reveal your struggles, however, I am offering a space where we work through this time of learning and healing together. We will learn and understand triggers and how they impact your relationships, work life, home life, etc. Learning and knowing which tools and resources work best can help reduce some of the heaviness you may feel. Having a space where you feel understood is important to me, so I invite you to reach out today.

You have worked hard your entire life to do everything right. In a lot of ways, you have succeeded. However, sometimes you can't stand yourself for having "issues." You worry that if others notice, they will see you as weak. So many successful, wonderful people have anxiety, fears, negative thoughts, self-doubt, depression, and feel like they are never enough. I want you to know that you do not have to feel like this forever.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years of clinical experience in mental health. Making the decision to look for a therapist is a courageous one and can come from a myriad of reasons. You may be feeling stuck, lost in the chaos of life, adjusting to a life transition or struggling with anxiety. Perhaps you’re experiencing difficulties in relationships, struggling to find connections or meaning in your life. Or maybe you just feel like you need help exploring yourself and your history to come to a more defined sense of self.

My approach is strengths-based with a focus on helping clients recognize and develop their positive values, abilities and qualities. I am a child, adolescent, adult and family psychologist who provides individual/family therapy and parent coaching. I have over 13 years fo experience working with a variety of issues such as anxiety (including selective mutism), depression, anger, noncompliance, defiance, impulsive behavior, trauma, parenting, and family relationships.

Hello! My specialties are: Couples Counseling, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Sexual Abuse, Substance Abuse, Domestic Abuse, Spiritual Confusion, and Non-drug approaches for ADHD. Currently, I also offer a number of Teletherapy times, which offer more flexibility in session availability. This can be particularly helpful for clients with busy or restricted schedules, especially couples and parents with young children.

Most of us need help with personal challenges or relationship issues at some point in our lives. Maybe an important relationship begins to fail, or we can't seem to navigate through a major transition or loss. Sometimes anxiety or depression descends and just won't go away. I have helped hundreds of clients through difficult times like these with skill and compassion. In my practice, you will find a safe, non-judgmental place to share your thoughts and feelings, reach a deeper understanding of your problem, and find new ways of coping. We will work together to get your life back on track.
